I don't know if you already mentioned it earlier, but are you going to have to trim the dump tube? The picture of it on the engine out of the car makes it look like it'll hit the ground when it's back in the car.
I thought the fitting on the compressor went to the boost control solenoid? I havent looked too much into the vacuum lines for the system yet.you might want to plug that hole on the compressor and not use that as a boost reference. i take it your going to use a vacuum block and you should be using that as a reference and not the turbo compressor side.
It's pretty easy actually. Everything goes to one central air supply. I don't use any T's what so ever.Looks like I have to do some research on how to connect all of these vacuum lines up lol
So I looked at all of the documentation that came with my parts. It does look pretty straight forward until it gets to the boost control solenoid then it gets tricky because of the different ways it can be connected. I dont plan on using a vacuum manifold just because there are so many open ports on the back of my intake manifold.It's pretty easy actually. Everything goes to one central air supply.

What I have so far is:
Boost gauge
-Connected to IM
Waste gate
-Side port to turbo fitting
-Top port to boost control
Blow out valve
-To IM
Turbo
-Fitting to waste gate
Boost Control Solenoid
Found 2 different way to connect this. Which one should I use?

Also what size of vacuum line should I order? 1/4in or 1/8in?
Thanks! When I called to see if NAPA did the resurfacing and how much it was he said the cost depends on the type of flywheel and he gave me 2 prices. I wasnt sure what that meant but I do now. I guess ill be getting the more expensive price lol.If you let napa resurface your flywheel make sure they two a two step turn. They not only need to cut the friction surface on the lathe but they also need to cut the pressure plate mounting surface the exact same amount to retain the same setup and clearance the clutch was designed for.
As for a rad fan. I used a cheap ebay electric slim fan. Worked fine for me for man years now.
